I assumed I would purchase the 35mm 1.4 but then I notice it is not an S lens while the 35mm 1.8 is an S lens, has anyone shot with both, any sharpness differences? It seems like the 1.4 has more plastic?
thanks,

They are 100% completely different lenses-
I would pick the 35 1.4 all day long but if you are concerned with sharpness, the 1.8 is 100% the way you want to go.
The 35 1.4 is a the everyone hates "character rich" lens that has some optical imperfections that give a very nice look in the rendering.
